Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” analysed the 2019 budget of the town of Cimișlia. The municipality plans to collect MDL 27.4 million, of which MDL 17.6 million, or 64%, comes from state budget transfers. Total planned revenue amounts to MDL 2,228 per inhabitant.

Own revenues are forecast at MDL 9.8 million, down 1% on 2018. Over 87% of transfers are earmarked, which limits local decision-making. The approved budget did not reflect the one-year extension of patent-based trading, whose abolition would have cost about MDL 250,000.

Education takes over 57% of spending, going to seven pre-school institutions with 166 staff, over 60% of all employees in publicly funded bodies. They are financed by MDL 13.2 million in transfers and MDL 1.2 million in parental fees (MDL 8.75 per day). Property management should yield about MDL 3.5 million for economic services. Capital investments are modest, such as MDL 800,000 each for the agri-food market and the children’s square. Roads receive about MDL 1.6 million, too little to improve their quality, and street lighting MDL 510,000.
